The decision of the BFMP (British Federation of Master Printers) to refuse the demand for a third week's annual holiday made made by the PKTF (Printing and Kindred Trades Federation) has led to bitter criticism of the employers by the General Secretary of the PKTF, G. Eastwood. In the Graphical Journal, monthly organ of the Graphical Association, Eastwood states that, "the employers have now been told that we entirely reject their contention than any improvements in conditions must be completely offset by savings in production," The employers! proposals were veiled in such euphemistic phrases as "flexibility of manning and operations" a key question in an industry whose labour force is beginning to feel the rigours of automation.
